Psalm 23

A beautiful passage.

God is my provider.

I will need not lack anything.

Because the shepherd feeds His sheep daily.

Amen

Blank...

She refuses to talk.

Simply refuses to.

Maybe I'm imagining things.

But this is what I'm getting.

The un-deserving grace of God

As of tonight,

I will be praying...

praying for people...

in my heart that I feel that something ain't right...

those who have/had issues against me;

those who have been hurt by me;

those who I have discriminated against;

and those who I may have hurt before.

Because Jesus You love me,
I will love the same.
I pray for the above,
that they will not stay the same.

I'll fall, fall into Your arms of love

Dear God,

I pray that I will never have enough of You in my life.
Please open my eyes to see the vastness of Your creation;
Open my ears to listen to the ongoing sounds and wonders of Your praises,
and soften my heart to feel the hearts of the people You put in this world.

I hope You change me to be like never before;
how I was ignorant of Your mercy and compassion towards me;
how You loved me again and again despite of my stubbornness,
and gave Your only Son for me.

I was once lost but now am found,
I am saved but I never deserve this.
I am renewed but I feel the same,
Why O God?Why?

In my life I only hope for one thing,
that Your will be done and accomplished.
Your name be high and lifted up,
Yet I know the journey will not be easy.

I look to my left and to my right,
Who can I turn to in times of trouble?
I see Your people turn and walk away,
at a time when You said You are coming back again.

You came and You called,
that those who believe in You will be saved.
Yet in the saving grace of Yours,
it was as if the price that was paid was cheap.

There is no one like You,
None who is worthy to save our souls.
The lamb that was slain,
it has got to be Jesus.

So now I live my life,
in times of joy and moments of pain.
I will lift my voice to call out loud,
to my God who is forever faithful.

Thank You God,
Love You because You first loved me.
I pray,
that You teach me to love those who do not love me the same.

It should not matter to me,
because it never mattered to You.
I ask You give me the perseverance and determination,
to hold fast to what You have taught me.

I was lost,
but now am found.
In no one but You,
JESUS.

A Simple Dinner

It was great to have dinner with you.

It was not easy but I'm glad we had.

Thanks for being a big-brother to me.

The road ahead is still long,

Still, I look forward to the journey.

May God Almighty keep you and bless you in all you do.

The Breathe of Life within me

As I read Gen. 1-3, I was amazed again by 1 fact.

God breathed you and me into life.

You may ask what is so special about that?

It is special because God spoke all other things into life and form,

but He made you and me out of the dust and Breathed life into us.


Maybe that explains the kind-hearted conscious in all of us because God is Good!

Are you aware today that you have the breathe of God in you?

Eph3:16-17

I pray that out of His glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts though faith...

This is dedicated to all my brothers and sisters in Christ out there

I hope all will turn out well tomorrow.

God bless.

What an amazing God

I'm back for a second post for a good reason.

I had just finished praying and picked up my long-forgotten prayer book and browsed through it and reminiscing the times I prayed much much more.

What happened to me!!!

Anyway, I smsed a brother to check on his prayer request and 
he replied me saying that he just did what I was about to ask him...

What an amazing God and perfect His timing can be =)

Arghh

My head is splitting up!

I've been having this bugging headache on the left of my head and it has not been better.

Please cover me in prayer.

Today I picked out Matthew 4 and read on Jesus' temptations in the desert.

1. Jesus knew His identity (do you know your identity in Christ?)

2. Jesus did not step over His Father's will (do you sometimes choose to do your own will?)

3. Jesus chose not to please himself (have you died to yourself so you live in Christ today?)

And I read Gen. about Adam and Eve as well:

How interesting the conversation between the serpent and Eve and how Eve became unsure of what God had said and commanded. 

The Devil doesn't present lies as they seem. He distorts the truth and at times, gives us the partial truth, causing us to fix our eyes away from God.

Man and Woman's creation: w-o-man...

I was giving that some thoughts and this was what I got interestingly,

Was Originally MAN...

As we all know Eve was created by God from Adam's rib.

Just a thought, no offence to the ladies out there =)

God bless all of you

Blessed

I met a dear friend today after work.

I am blessed. 

To know that God sent someone who cares.

To my friend, thank you and oh ya,

God will take care of me so no worries =)

Thank God for you =) We finally meet up again!

Sense of Stillness

This weekend flew past again really quick.

Manged to catch 2 movies, Underworld and Valkyrie. 

Both I would give thumbs up.

As for myself, I really am clueless as to where I'm heading in life right now especially in terms of relationship.

But 1 thing is for sure, that I will seek after God in this issue.

Just thought of this while on the net,

Many times we have someone to meet; something to do or a promise to keep.
But we always push it away and tell ourselves that it can be done later; tomorrow or another time.

But do you really know if you will live till tomorrow?
Would things still be the same 5 mins later?

If you're reading this now, and God has placed in your heart to do something,
please...
Don't hesitate and go ahead to do it.
You might not know what God has in store for you and me.

God is our ever-present help in times of need =)

Be Blessed!

I need to see Your glory

I need to see You God, in Your glory.

I feel helpless.

Romans 15:5-6

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today had to lead worship in youth service. Felt I had let God down. I don't know how to explain. Maybe it's just my own thinking.

I should have known better not to have played last night.

Or maybe I had not been fully obedient to God.

Worship is not about our musical expressions alone to God.

It is the lifestyle we lead that is the key to worshipping God.

I know I am not alone, God is here but somehow I feel so lonely.

O God, I'm desperate for You. Won't You come as You are.

I'm still praying in hope, dear God I will wait upon You.

Let Your sovereign will Lord over my desire and wants.

Jesus let Your commands be my biggest concern everyday.

Live holy, as God is holy.

We don't even seem to know each other anymore. 
It sure is interesting to see what God is doing.
Going through this won't be easy, but I ain't gonna throw in the towel just yet.
You'll see.

Whatever happens, whatever decisions that you'll make.
Please know that I'm praying for you, everyday.
And I mean it. Everyday.
That somehow, someday, we'll realize all that happened doesn't matter anymore.
Because Jesus is coming back. I don't know if I should be excited or worried.

Trust and obey.
I'll learn to do just that.
I pray you'll see where I'm coming from.
Sovereign God, You have full control.

Food for Thought

If things goes our way, it's sure easy to say Life is wonderful

But if things don't, would you?

Or maybe cause only God is wonderful =)

His will be done

Friend made a really awakening prayer for me yesterday. She said she'll not pray according to my request but that God's will be done.

That shook me up.

Am I back to my own desires? Or am I seeking for God's will to be done.

Things may not look positive but hold on Marcus.
There is hope in God and a reason for everything.
Look beyond what can be seen and trust in Him.
Be still and know that He is God.
He is STILL in control.

Amen.

Hurts so deep

It's back and it hurts...

I want to take out those rotten potatoes but somehow they keep coming back.

Lord, if there is a solution, it's got to be you.

I pray that I will not take things into my own hands and play your role.

Forgive me God.
